Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion.

Introductory Courses

Usually, the outcome of a course of instruction is a specific skill or an ability to do or understand something.

Can you provide some insight into how best to deal with these type courses and how and what to measure during examinations.
